The Quintin Hogg Trust funded field trip was part of the Community Conversations project run by the World Public Health Nutrition Association (WPHNA) and the University of Westminster. The initiative’s goal is to collect voices from across the globe to create a conversation around what needs to be done to support those suffering from food insecurity.

Westminster students visited Belfast, Liverpool, Dublin and Cork to meet MPs and members of the community, to hear from the voices of those actively fighting for the right to food. The results from the four-city trek will feed directly into the World Public Health Nutrition Congress 2024 taking place at the University of Westminster.

The Congress will provide a forum to discuss local, national and global nutrition and health issues and explore new research on potential solutions to the hunger crisis. The attendees will include experts in the fields of nutrition, health, human rights, agriculture, trade, climate change and governance as well as community leaders, members from civil society organisations and NGOs, as well as government ministers, public sector bodies, academics and researchers.
